Back by popular demand: Easter Salmon Wellington

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty Canada - Brokerage

I made this for Easter back in 2013 and every year, I get loads of requests for the recipe.  To me this is a perfect springtime dish and of course, all the Easter side dishes that accompany it just make the meal that much more special.  (ie Carrot Risotto, or Roasted Heirloom Carrots)

 

Salmon, spring asparagus, egg, lemon and fresh dill wrapped in puff pastry and drizzled with a lemony cream sauce - Yum

 

 

  • 8 fresh asparagus spears
  • 4 hard-cooked eggs, lightly mashed
  • 1 tablespoon red onion, diced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
  • 1/2 (250 g) package Cream Cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 frozen pre-rolled puff pastry sheet (13x20 cm)
  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets of salmon, skin removed
  • 1 egg, for egg wash
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or cover with parchment paper.
  2. Blanch asparagus spears in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain and submerge in ice water to stop the cooking. Drain, then pat dry and cut into 1/4-inch pieces; place in a medium glass bowl.
  3. Mix in eggs, red onion, 2 Tbsp. dill, 1/2 the cream cheese (62 g), mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Cut pastry into 4 equal pieces; place 1 salmon fillet on the centre of each pastry piece. Season with salt and pepper. Top with egg mixture.
  5. Fold sides of pastry over salmon and press pastry together to seal the seam. Brush with egg wash. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake for 15 minutes more or until pastry is flaky and golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Meanwhile, bring broth, lemon zest, lemon juice and remaining dill to a simmering boil. Add remaining cream cheese and cook until melted, stirring constantly with whisk. Cook 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat until ready to serve.
  8. Serve salmon bundles topped with sauce.

Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm.  That looks like a good dish.  I prefer salmon uncooked (or smoked), but this does look like an excellent springtime treat!

Susan Emo You are killing me with these delights! Tell me, does sardines on crackers even come close, because that's what I just had for lunch!
